Watchful eyes.

Rue petite saunerie, non pardon : Rue de la Croix, AvignonRue de la petite saunerie is a very narrow street where few cars venture - most traffic is pedestrian. As you walk past this window you meet two sets of watchful eyes. I wonder who lives there?

Cute. I imagine a young girl lived here many years ago, placed the doll and the bear in the window, then grew up and moved out of the house. Her parents can't face the idea of removing this tender remembrance of when their daughter was a child.

So did you stop to chat with them for a little while ? Very thoughtful of whoever put them there to also install the speaking vent in the middle of the window so they could hear the questions from passers by and answer them... I imagine they have some stories to tell to anyone with the time and patience to stop and listen ?
